This is such a beautiful way to hide veggie and fruit scraps for the compost pile. It looks like a kitchen canister, so nobody else knows what it really is. The charcoal filter keeps any odors from escaping while being filled.

We wanted to replace the old plastic bucket we kept under the kitchen sink for our compostable wastes and this seemed just the right size. It is way too pretty to sit under the sink, though! The only drawback we can point out is the curved rim at the top which does make it difficult to remove the waste, but other than that, we're very happy with this purchase.

This is an attractive, functional solution to the daily composting materials. Looks nice on the counter, has a deceptively good capacity, and the charcoal filter is functional and practical.

The only drawback is as others have noted ... that the neck of the container is smaller than the body, so it catches some of the composting material upon emptying. I solve that issue by taking a long-handled spoon with me when dumping it out, and it solves the problem for me. Were it not for this drawback, I'd have given it 5 stars.
